Yesterday, early morning, we left for the JFK airport in New York. We were on our way back to Haiti after spending 5 weeks in the USA. We arrived at the airport around 5:30 AM.
Our time at home was enjoyed very much.. however very busy! While home, we managed to have a yard sale, attended a good friend’s wedding, camped out with the Weavers ..twice, enjoyed a big Peight family gathering, went on a “double date” with our good friends.. etc. etc! We ate roast beef, hamburgers, grilled chicken, Schwans ice cream, twist soft serve ice cream, watermelon, cantaloupe, fresh strawberry pie, raspberries, and blueberries!!
We were thankful to have an airport attendant help us out with our mountain of luggage. It took awhile to get it all checked in and the extra bags paid for…In spite of our good start, we ended up having some “airport stress”later on, due to some grumpy staff! They were being especially picky about carry on luggage that morning.. and we ended up getting one of our carry on pieces tagged and put under the plane to pacify them. They finally left us through security and off to find our gate of departure.
After two uneventful flights, we landed in Haiti. Trish and Do were there to meet us. We piled our luggage into the back of the truck and off we went. Don sat on the back with several of the children so I gave him the camera to take some pictures of typical city life in Haiti! These pictures I want to share with you!
We are also very happy to be able to care for Karlee Jo until her adoption papers are finalized. Karlee Jo is being adopted by Jess and Carol Myer, some very good friends of ours. They have been working at her adoption almost ever since her birth. Up to this point Karlee had been living in Port-au-Prince with several different families. Trish and Do had picked her up prior to going to the airport. She was there to greet us as will.. sweet little girl! Leogane Girl’s Home has given us permission to care for her until her adoption is final. We really have no idea how long or short the time may be. Pray for Karlee and her situation. She is doing very well in spite of having been “passed around'”.
She was not very photogenic today… :) as far as smiles go.. however, she is beautiful smile or no smile! Right?
She loves rice and beans….
…as well as her bath time!
Good night little miss.. we love you!
God Bless all our friends and loved ones tonight!
Karole
